Chapter 1332: Chapter 1327: Little Ginseng’s Cultivation Progress

Qiongzhou City was infested with Gu corpses; his disguise and entry were tantamount to seeking death!

Chu Yifeng patted his chest, “Don’t yell so loudly; I’m skilled in martial arts and won’t die. Haven’t I gone to the battlefield for you so many times before and still lived?”

The two brothers had no names with the King of Hell; they had circled the gates of Yama’s Palace countless times, and not one of them had died.

Chu Yifeng wasn’t worried, but he did bring some troubling news to Chu Yihan, “That woman, Rong Sheng, she said that Chen Ruobai has already started using living people to practice Gu. The lethality is even stronger. I saw a few myself, living people turned into Gu corpses on the spot, then taken away for secretive refining… probably even harder to handle than before. And there is this thing.”

A stack of papers, which Chu Yifeng stuffed into Chu Yihan’s hands.

Chu Yihan hadn’t even opened them when he was about to leave.

“Don’t go,” Chu Yihan grabbed him and looked back at Su Yingxue, “Come and check his pulse for him.”

He was worried that Chu Yifeng might be injured and had acted rashly.

Su Yingxue stepped forward and when she held Chu Yifeng’s hand, fifteen breaths later, she whispered, “He’s not injured, nor has he been bitten by a Gu corpse. You can rest assured.”

Chu Yifeng glanced at her indifferently, his eyes laced with a trace of mild mockery.

Shaking off Su Yingxue’s hand, he returned to his place.

Ah Hong was waiting for him in the residence within the city. He would not demean himself like Chu Yihan, living in a military camp that lacked everything.

But Ah Hong noticed something amiss with his expression, “Master, did you meet Rong Sheng? Did you…”

“Don’t mention that woman to me!” Chu Yifeng angrily smashed the cloisonné golden-threaded furnace on the ground, “That woman is very strange!”

“How is she strange?” The more Chu Yifeng acted out of the ordinary, the more worried Ah Hong became.

Was he now…

Starting to remember things about Rong Sheng again?

Chu Yifeng collapsed on the soft couch, “Go summon a female servant for me.”

“Yes.” Seeing that he had such a request, Ah Hong realized that he was simply in a bad mood. Indulging in some pleasure would probably cheer him up.

But this time it was different. The female servants took turns serving him, with the music of strings and flutes, delicate and enticing songs, everything as pleasurable as before, yet Chu Yifeng’s mood did not improve at all; his heart felt even more painful.

He flipped away the woman trying to touch his body and frowned irritably, “Get out! All of you, get out!”

The woman lay on the ground, gasping daintily, still harboring some intentions, but upon encountering Chu Yifeng’s Grim Reaper-like terrifying gaze, she promptly packed away her coquettishness and quickly left.

Seeing Chu Yifeng clutching at his chest, Ah Hong slowly guessed, “Master, is the pain in your chest acting up again?”

Ever since he saw Rong Sheng that one time, Chu Yifeng would occasionally suffer from this condition.

At first, Ah Hong thought it was a side effect of the drugs that Rong Sheng had administered to him.

But now it seemed…

“This woman, Rong Sheng, must have had some connection with me in the past. Yet, her lips are sealed tight, she says nothing. I’ve thought about killing her!”

Chu Yifeng found those unfamiliar to him, yet able to grasp the soft spots of his emotions and body, to be threats that must be eliminated!

Such an existence left no trace in his memory, but it made him feel threatened!

“Rong Sheng!” Chu Yifeng gritted his teeth in hatred.

“Master, this is a painting drawn by the little princess. The little princess is now living in the Fengyi Palace and spending her days happily with the little Crown Prince,” Ah Hong presented a scroll with both hands.

Chu Yifeng, one leg propped up, sat up from the soft couch—as soon as Chu Xi was mentioned, his complexion improved greatly.

He unfurled the painting to find that it was done by Chu Xi, a little girl holding her face and looking at the moon through a window.

There was no writing, but Chu Yifeng was delighted, his lips curling into a smile, “Silly girl, thinking about Your Highness, hoping Your Highness would come back early to pick her up.”

If it were an ordinary battle, he could have requested to join the fight with Chu Yihan, don his armor and head into the fray, settle things with the adversary quickly, and return to court early.

To see his dear little daughter.

But this time, the battle was exceptionally tricky!

He didn’t know how long it would take, nor how tough it would be, to finally reach an outcome.

Chu Yihan and Lin Sisi, along with the father and son of the Ye Family, had been analyzing the battle, while Su Yingxue and Saint Ruan had been researching gu corpses in a wooden cabin.

Because the corpse poison on the gu corpses was very virulent, Su Yingxue and Saint Ruan were both dressed in protective gear that Su Yingxue had made, soaked in spiritual spring water and medicinal liquid, wearing masks and gloves, with only their eyes exposed.

Su Yingxue used surgical tools to dissect the gu corpse’s body, intending to remove all the corpse maggots so that Saint Ruan could study them, but during the dissection, they found that the gu worms had almost dissolved into the flesh and blood. The few parts they managed to fish out were incomplete, which might make Saint Ruan’s research challenging.

After the dissection, Saint Ruan asked Su Yingxue to study every piece of skin, flesh, bone, and feature on the corpse before they would come together to synthesize their findings.

The tasks Su Yingxue faced were much more troublesome than Saint Ruan’s. Having dissected the upper limbs, she was already somewhat tired. Little Ginseng danced around in her mind, “When will this finish? Observing a human body slowly like this is too slow!”

“Shut up, even if it’s slow, we need to figure out how this person died, exactly how they were controlled, and which parts of the body were eroded and affected. Otherwise, how are we supposed to deal with the gu corpse army?” Su Yingxue did not want Chu Yihan and his soldiers to be overcome by these gu corpses on the battlefield.

“Hey, why don’t you ask me for help? Close your eyes, and I will take a look for you!”

Little Ginseng’s voice was crisp and tender, yet it carried a note of disdain for Su Yingxue.

She was cutting slowly, section by section—when would she finish?

She should let Little Ginseng help!

Su Yingxue raised an eyebrow, “How can you help me see?”

“Dimwit! Hold the limb of the gu corpse and then close your eyes!”

Impatience tinged Little Ginseng’s immature voice.

Following those instructions, Su Yingxue placed her hand on the gu corpse’s abdomen and then closed her eyes. To her surprise, she could see inside the corpse’s abdomen, every meridian and piece of flesh was clear, and she even spotted some filth attached to the gu corpse’s bones!

Like what was said in her mother’s letters…

“CT, huh!”

With a light huff, Little Ginseng’s voice carried pride, “I, the Ginseng, can understand your mother’s letters too. What they could see in their era, you can also see!”

And she always felt that what she allowed Su Yingxue to see, though a bit disgusting, was clearer than whatever that T thing was, right?

As if she had eyes that could see through everything inside the gu corpse’s body.

“Little Ginseng, have you cultivated into a spirit again?”

Su Yingxue was amazed to find that after some time of ignoring Little Ginseng, she had become much more formidable.
